Billy Graham, the influential evangelist who died on Wednesday at the age of 99, used his charisma to spread the word of Christianity to millions worldwide. It also earned him friends among the world’s rich and powerful — even among royalty.
Graham, the son of a North Carolina farmer, began his worldwide mission in London in the 1950s, and it was here that he met with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The pair developed an unlikely friendship, visiting one another multiple times over the following decades; on Easter Sunday 1995, Graham gave the sermon in the royal family’s private chapel, The Telegraph reports.
“No one in Britain has been more cordial toward us than Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II,” Graham wrote in his 1997 autobiography, Just As I Am. As he recalled on her 90th birthday in 2016, she could not officially endorse his work but was personally both supportive of his work and open to his religious teachings.
“I have always found her highly intelligent and knowledgeable about a wide variety of issues,” he added, “not just politics.”

I believe Dr. Graham died back in 2018; rather it was the Queen who just passed away.
I’ve only read the excerpt and I’m already tearing up. This article is going to turn me into a blubbering mess, isn’t it? 😭
“...I believe Dr. Graham died back in 2018...”

The article is from 2018.
This article was from Time Magazine in February, 2018.
As defender of the (Anglican) faith it would be apostasy for the Queen to become a Southern Baptist, a violation of the Act of Settlement of 1701, and cause for her to forfeit her crown.
Those unhappy with the leadership of older people around
this world, are going to get a bit of a surprise when
they realize what the ones who replaced them are want to
do, and have to live with it.

She had every opportunity in her looonnng life to drop her nonsense and pull a Constantine. Good luck to her now.
Better to forfeit a crown then to forfeit one’s soul.
So are you suggesting that those of the Anglican faith aren’t Christian?
What nonsense do you refer to?
Under the Act of Settlement she just had to be a Protestant.
“...used his charisma to spread the word of Christianity...”
While Billy Graham was in a sense a charismatic Christian, he would never claim that it was his charisma that was used to spread the Gospel.
She professed Jesus as her savior… “luck” doesn’t play into it.
Nor is it sufficient.
Well…you’re the one who wished her the luck. Anyway…nice home page. :)

” As defender of the (Anglican) faith it would be apostasy ...”
Elizabeth never defended the Anglican Faith which has now almost completely gone into apostacy.
